Nutrition Care Process Steps • Nutrition Assessment • Nutrition Diagnosis • Nutrition Intervention • Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation
Nutritional care process Anthropometrics Nutritional assessment tools
Nutritional Assessment • Anthropometric assessment • Clinical evaluation • Biochemical, laboratory assessment • Dietary evaluation
ESPEN guidelines Questions to be answered: • What is the condition now? • Is the condition stable? • Will the condition get worse? • Will the disease process accelerate nutritional deterioration?
Anthropometric methods in ICU • Weight • Height estimation • Mid-arm circumference • Skin fold thickness • Head circumference
Ideal Body Weight (kg) • Men=48+ 2.3 for each inch over 152 m • Women=45.3+2.3 for each inch over 152 cm • Correction for skeletal size:
Ideal Body Weight (kg) • Add 10% if SS is large • Subtract 10% if SS is small
Adjusted body weight • Used when actual body weight is more than 120% of IBW: • ABW=IBW+ 25% of (actual body weight - IBW)
Body composition (BIA) Very popular Safe Noninvasive Portable Rapid

Mid arm circumference • measured with a nonstretch measuring tape • midway between the acromion and olecranon of the nondominant arm • ≤ 15 cm: severe depletion of muscle mass • 16–19 cm: moderate depletion • 20–22 cm: mild depletion
BMI estimation If MUAC is <23.5 cm, BMI is likely to be <20 kg/m2 If MUAC is >32.0 cm, BMI is likely to be >30 kg/m2
CLINICAL ASSESSMENT • Detectiong of physical signs, (specific & non specific), that may be associated with malnutrition. • Nutritional history • General clinical examination, with special attention to organs like hair, angles of the mouth, gums, nails, skin, eyes, tongue, muscles, bones, & thyroid gland. • Detection of relevant signs helps in establishing the nutritional diagnosis
